We will be having a clinic here at Shinto on April 24 & 25, with Henk van Bergen and are excited to have him coming to the farm. Henk was teacher/trainer at the USDF trainer's conference in Florida in January 2010. Michelle and Trish were both there at the conference, and found his teaching incredibly valuable.

We anticipate most of the times to be booked, but please feel free to call us to find a place for you and your horse!
